Navaratri Fall 2026 - Night 3: Transformation Through Ma Kali

People all over the world engage in Shakti Upasana to have respite from the heat, the worldly heat, Daivik Bhautik Tapa.

bodily, divine and material, spiritual heat.

Body is not well, going through some illness, that's just suffering.

Daivik, the divine kalab, that's calamities, storms, floods, fire, cyclone, earthquakes, material.

So humans burn in these three fires, to find little solace, little reprieve from these, to avoid these, we engage in Shakti Upasana.

That's the common understanding.

We all want to be happy, healthy and live a prosperous and meaningful life.

It's all possible.

It's all possible with Mother's grace.

We have been calling upon her with her various names.

Mahakali, although she is one, but we have been evoking her with the name of Mahakali.

In other schools, Naudurga, Shailaputri, they call with the nine names.

Shailaputri, one who is born in the mountains.

Brahmacharani, one who is austere.

Yogini.

Chandraghanta.

So these three forms, really, what do they represent? Be stable like a mountain.

Have a higher aspiration.

Be disciplined, austerity, modesty, focused.

And most of all, Determination, be determined.

That's a brahmacharini.

Chandra ghanta.

Chandra means the moon.

Ghanta is the bell, sound.

So be stable, be determined and focused.
